The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests the document is designed to exploit a PDF vulnerability to run malicious scripts.

Machine Learning

  • Nyx PDF Classifier malicious score 0.9975

Heuristics 6

  • ClamAV: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-7291 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Pdf.Exploit.Agent-7291
  • eval() call high PDF_EVAL
    eval() found — commonly used for obfuscated exploit execution (matched inside decoded stream)
  • JavaScript action low PDF_JAVASCRIPT
    PDF contains a /JavaScript action. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Embedded JS stream low PDF_JS
    PDF references a /JS stream. Generic JavaScript is common in benign forms; specific dangerous APIs are scored by separate rules.
  • Optional Content Group with action trigger low PDF_OPTIONAL_CONTENT
    Optional Content Group (layer) co-occurs with an action trigger — content can be selectively hidden from viewers or scanners while the action still fires on open
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
